Don't be sorry! I sometimes lose track of where I've written on a 
topic and don't always update each and every page that should be 
updated. For example, James is positively identified as being in 
Gryffindor in OP, but there are still places in the Lexicon, such as 
this page, where is says only that it's "fairly certain."

Basically, here's what I'm saying:

1 - James is in Gryffindor (says so in OP)
2 - Lupin, James, and Sirius were almost certainly (99.99% sure) in 
the same house, judging by the "which of us was made prefect" 
conversation in "The Woes of Mrs. Weasley"

Therefore, Lupin and Sirius were in Gryffindor. 

Peter is the one we don't know about, but I would say it's very 
likely that he was Gryffindor as well, given that the rest of them 
were.
